The answer is transitional

Conversion is not relevant in this context. It generally refers to changing something into a different form or function, which does not apply to the role of the soft toy.

Rudimentary means basic or elementary, which does not accurately describe the role of the soft toy in providing emotional support.

While toys can be educational, the context here is about providing comfort, not education.

Transitional objects are items used to provide psychological comfort, especially in unusual or stressful situations. The soft toy serves this purpose for Jane when she goes to daycare.

The answer is 4

At age 2, children typically have very basic fine motor skills and are not yet able to perform tasks like drawing a fairly complete person or folding paper into a double triangle.

At age 4, children are developing more advanced fine motor skills, such as dressing with help, cutting along a line, drawing a fairly complete person, and folding paper into shapes. This aligns well with Alysha's abilities.

By age 6, children usually have more refined fine motor skills and can perform more complex tasks independently.

At age 7, children have even more advanced fine motor skills and can perform tasks that are more complex than those described for Alysha.

The answer is scaffolding

Scaffolding is a concept in Vygotsky's theory where temporary support is provided to help a child master a task. This support is gradually removed as the child becomes more competent.

Stakeholding is not relevant in this context. It generally refers to having an interest or stake in an organization or project.

Conserving is not relevant in this context. It generally refers to preserving or maintaining something.

Encoding is a term used in cognitive psychology to describe the process of converting information into a form that can be stored in memory, which is not relevant to Vygotsky's theory of temporary support.

The answer is conservation

Decentration refers to the ability to consider multiple aspects of a situation, which is a part of cognitive development but not specifically about understanding that quantity remains the same despite changes in shape or arrangement.

Irreversibility refers to the inability to mentally reverse a sequence of events or logical operations, which is a different concept from understanding the conservation of quantity.

Conservation is Piaget's term for the understanding that certain properties of objects, such as quantity, remain the same even when their appearance changes. This is the correct term for the concept described.

Ordinality refers to the understanding of order or sequence, such as first, second, third, etc., which is not related to the concept of conservation.
